Odoo Search Bar Add-on

Stop Searching One Value at a Time

Paste a whole list into any Odoo search bar, and find every matching record in one shot.

Before
REF-001 REF-002 REF-003 ... 47 more, one Enter at a time
After
Reference: REF-001 or REF-002 or REF-003 or ...
The problem

50 values means 50 rounds of paste and Enter

You get a list of 50 reference codes, customer names, or order numbers from a spreadsheet, an email, or a support ticket. You need to find all of them in Odoo.

Today that means: paste one value, press Enter, paste the next one, press Enter again, and again, until all 50 are done. One typo or one skipped line and your result is silently wrong.

50 values, one by one
  • paste REF-001, Enter
  • paste REF-002, Enter
  • paste REF-003, Enter
  • ... 47 more times
How to use it

Bring in your list. Pick the field. Done.

1

Open any list, like Products, and start from the search bar you already use every day.

A normal Odoo product list with the search bar empty
2

Bring in your list of values, whichever way it is easiest for you. All four ways below work the same: every value ends up as one facet, combined with "or".

Copy a column from Excel

Select a column of values in Excel or Google Sheets, one value per row, copy it, and paste directly into the search bar. Each row becomes one value automatically.

A column of values selected in Excel, then pasted into the search box
Copy a row from Excel

Select a row of values spread across several columns, copy it, and paste into the search bar. Each column/cell becomes one value automatically.

Copy from a text file

Copy a multi-line list from Notepad, an email, or any plain text source, and paste it into the search bar. Each line becomes one value automatically.

Type it yourself

Prefer typing over copy-paste? Type your values directly in the search box separated by a pipe character "|". No paste needed, the pipe is a normal character on any keyboard.

Values typed manually in the search box, separated by the pipe character, with the field dropdown open
3

Right after bringing in your list, every value stays editable in the search bar, joined by "|". Pick a field from the dropdown once to apply them all.

The search bar shows the pasted values joined by the pipe character, with the field dropdown open ready to confirm
4

Every value becomes a single facet, combined with "or". The list instantly shows every matching record, all at once.

The search bar shows one facet combining all three values, and the list shows exactly those three matching products
Why it is worth having

Built for the moment you get a list to search

Minutes back every day

Turn 50 repetitive clicks into a single paste and one click.

Nothing gets missed

Every line you pasted is searched, so no value is silently forgotten.

Nothing new to learn

It is the same search bar, the same fields, just faster.

Everywhere in Odoo

Contacts, Products, Invoices, Orders, any list or kanban search.

Who this helps
  • Sales and purchase teams checking a list of order or product references
  • Support and accounting teams looking up customers or invoices from a spreadsheet
  • Warehouse teams reconciling a batch of item codes
  • Anyone who regularly gets "can you find these in the system" lists
Good to know
  • Nothing to configure, install and it works right away
  • You can still edit the pasted list before confirming a field
  • Pasting a single value works exactly as before, unchanged
  • Empty or duplicate lines are ignored automatically
